Kha'Zix vs Nasus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize using fog and isolation to pick off Nasus before he stacks (Q) and becomes a durable threat.
This is a snowball vs scale jungle matchup where Kha'Zix must deny Nasus early farm and avoid grouped fights that negate isolation damage.

Jungle Plan

Path to invade or counter-jungle when lanes show priority and Nasus is isolated or low on health.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can collapse first to secure vision and isolate Nasus.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to create pick opportunities and deny Nasus free stacking time.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when Nasus has (R) active and enough (Q) stacks to punish melee range.
Beware of forced smite fights near objectives where Nasus's durability and slow (W) can turn the tide.
Be cautious clearing low-health camps without vision as Nasus can collapse and out-sustain in extended fights.

Early game

Start with a clear that allows early river Scuttle control to contest Nasus's jungle access.
Avoid early fights without vision or lane priority since Nasus scales with stacks and extended fights favor him.
Use level 6 stealth (R) to approach isolated camps or river fights for picks before Nasus gains durability.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth to reposition for isolated picks before Nasus activates his durability.
First damage item spike increases isolation burst; invade Nasus's camps when lanes cannot collapse.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) and high (Q) stacks timing by avoiding extended fights and grouped skirmishes.

Win conditions

Use fog and isolation damage to pick Nasus off before he stacks (Q) and gains durability.
Control river vision and objective setups to force Nasus into unfavorable grouped fights.
Snowball leads by invading and denying Nasus free farm, then convert tempo into dragon and Rift Herald control.
